Your dream wedding should be more than just finding the best veil, cake or wedding package. It’s also about finding the right minister. After all, you want to make sure your wedding day is special in every way. And that includes finding a minister who can start your wedding on the right note of solemnity and happiness you and your fiancé both want:
Determine the type of ceremony to go for
What kind of ceremony do you and your fiancé want to have? A catholic one? Do you want something traditional, secular or modern? You’ll need to decide. This will determine the kind of minister you’ll get, whether you want a Spanish wedding minister or an English-speaking one.
Set up a meeting
The best way to get a solid gauge on whether the minister is the right one for your wedding is through a face to face meeting. So set one up. You could do this in person or via a video conference. The important thing is to decide whether you like them, fell comfortable with them and that they have good understanding of the ceremony you would like preformed. If your officiant ticks all the boxes in your list, then you’re good to go.
Know the rules
Make sure the state recognizes the authority and license of the Spanish wedding minister you choose, the Brides website says. That way, you won’t have any problems with the legal side of things. If you aren’t sure, clear this up with your officiant. Do your research as well so you’d know and understand exactly what the state rules require.
Ask for referrals
Ask wedding vendors you have already hired such as the venue, photographer or your wedding planner. If you’ve got names and referrals, find out as much as you can by researching on them. Read up on reviews so you’d know about the kind of reputation your officiant has.
